I am informed by the Garda authorities that the average processing time for valid applications for Garda vetting received at the Garda Central Vetting Unit is currently four weeks.

Any further time frame involved in the filling of a position for which Garda vetting is required is solely a matter for the recruiting organisation, over which the Garda authorities have no control.
